Play-Asia.com; the biggest hassle? - Page 2

yeah some sites do that. You pre order and then on release date you receive an automated email with a pp invoice. You pay, they confirm the order and ship the item. If you don't pay the site cancels the order automatically after X days.

I have never had to do anything you have been asked for when dealing with them. Sounds a bit weird to me. They arent always the cheapest but for me they are 100% reliable so far & they do have some good deals occasionally.

Sounds weird for them to ask for your details like that, I've used them many times and never had that sort of hassle....I would never send out my details like that to any business no matter how badly I want that item.

Look around and you will find the same thing elsewhere, perhaps cheaper too.

That's a first.. never had issues with PlayAsia whether I use Credit Card or PayPal.

GameStop US was a hassle for me though. I had to fax over my details, and it was only strictly fax. No scanned copies via e-mail.
Problem was when I went to the PostOffice to help me get it faxed over before or after work, it didn't go through. I suspected it was because they switched off the fax machine during non-working hours but they claim they don't. In the end, I managed to get an online site to fax it over.. What a hassle..

I've been dealing with Play-asia for years and never any problems, I haven't used them lately due to price mainly, can find everything I want cheaper elsewhere.

This might be just something new that they've recently implemented for security reasons.

What if you pay by Paypal, do they still want all this info?

Pretty much anywhere else, Ozgameshop, Amazon (US & UK), Zavvi and/or The Hut, etc.

I don't tend to by much Japanese/Asian stuff anymore otherwise I'd probably buy more from PA.

I haven't had any problems with playasia. I usually only buy their weekly deals as their normal prices are bullshit.

No but you have to pay upfront for pre orders.
